Photoreceptor-specific gene expression profiling in ninaEG69D eyes.
, 2021 (A) A schematic diagram of the Drosophila ommatidium. Shown are seven photoreceptor cells, R1 to R7. KASH-GFP (green) coats the outer membranes of R1 to R6 nuclei (red). Rh1 localizes to the apical membrane structure known as rhabdomeres (gray).

The photoreceptor mosaic [PDF]
Eye, 1998 The organisation of the human photoreceptor mosaic reflects evolutionary strategies for optimising visual information under a wide range of stimulus conditions: (1) The rod population dominates (max. 170,000/mm2 at c. 30 degrees sup.) except for the central 2 degrees and along the ora serrata.

Rapid reversion from monomer to dimer regenerates the ultraviolet-B photoreceptor UV RESISTANCE LOCUS8 in intact arabidopsis plants [PDF]
, 2013 Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) UV RESISTANCE LOCUS8 (UVR8) is a photoreceptor that specifically mediates photomorphogenic responses to ultraviolet (UV)-B in plants.

Circadian Photoentrainment in Mice and Humans
Biology, 2020 Light around twilight provides the primary entrainment signal for circadian rhythms. Here we review the mechanisms and responses of the mouse and human circadian systems to light.

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2021 Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and macular dystrophy (MD) are characterized by gradual photoreceptor death in the retina and are often associated with genetic mutations, including those in the prominin-1 (Prom1) gene. Prom1-knockout (KO) mice recapitulate key

Phosphoinositide Profile of the Mouse Retina
Cells, 2020 Phosphoinositides are known to play multiple roles in eukaryotic cells. Although dysregulation of phosphoinositide metabolism in the retina has been reported to cause visual dysfunction in animal models and human patients, our understanding of the ...

Electrical coupling of neuro-ommatidial photoreceptor cells in the blowfly [PDF]
, 1986 A new method of microstimulation of the blowfly eye using corneal neutralization was applied to the 6 peripheral photoreceptor cells (R1-R6) connected to one neuro-ommatidium (and thus looking into the same direction), whilst the receptor potential of a ...

PLoS ONE, 2012 In non-mammalian vertebrates, the pineal gland functions as the central pacemaker that regulates the circadian rhythms of animal behavior and physiology. We generated a transgenic zebrafish line [Tg(Gnat2:gal4-VP16/UAS:nfsB-mCherry)] in which the E. coli

Plant Flavoprotein Photoreceptors [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2014 Plants depend on the surrounding light environment to direct their growth. Blue light (300-500 nm) in particular acts to promote a wide variety of photomorphogenic responses including seedling establishment, phototropism and circadian clock regulation.

On dispersion in visual photoreceptors [PDF]
Vision Research, 1975 An idealized visual pigment absorbance spectrum is used together with a Kramers-Kronig dispersion relation to calculate the contribution of the visual pigment to the refractive index of the fly photoreceptor. It appears that an absorption coefficient of 0.010 µm-1 results in a refractive index variation of less than 5 × 10-4.
